Quotes
  • On the link between movies and school violence: "A lot of people in the movie industry tend to run and hide from it like ostriches. Movie industry people are definitely in denial right now, but you do become desensitized to violence when you see it on the screen so often. Let's face it, violence exists for one reason in movies, and that's to get an effect, create an emotion, sell tickets."
  • "I love the life of an actor becuase you spend brief amounts of time with other people and then you just leave. I need to be alone a lot, and I need the outdoors."
